Teaching channel was made in 2011 as a platform to provide professional development videos for teachers through the internet or on tv. It is a place for educators to be able to share ideas and practices with others to try to help themselves out as well as others. The whole goal of this is to gain and share knowledge among professional educators. Their mission is to "revolutionize how teachers learn, connect, and inspire each other to improve the outcomes for all students in America." To be able to do this they focus on building teacher driven professional learning, improve opportunities for teacher learning, and elevate and celebrate teachers in our society.
The videos on the teaching channel website cover all subjects and grade levels from kindergarten through high school. The videos are sorted by grade level and subject area. They cover all aspects around education such as, planning, class culture, behavior, engagement, differentiation, assessments, collaboration. common core, new teachers, and celebrating teachers. Another advantage of teaching channel is they partner with other programs to also make videos dealing with different topics such as digital literacy. Teaching channel's videos are used for professional development all around the country by different schools.
I think that this website is a wonderful web tool or teacher, but can also be used to teach. A teacher could find videos that are related to the topic that is being taught in the classroom and they could give that as a homework assignment to watch the video. One of the great advantages of this is the students get a good background of the information and the the teacher can spend their time on reinforcing and building on those ideas to extend that knowledge for the students.
For professional development these are wonderful resources because they are going to be always up to date and current with the latest research. These videos will help teachers stay on top of the latest teaching techniques as well as sharing some of the ideas that have worked good for them. Collaboration of ideas among professional teachers is one of the best way to keep improving the education system. Thus making schools a better learning place for students and giving them all the advantages to be successful in life. A teacher can go to this site and trust that the information is correct and useful because it is a professional site made by people who know what they are talking about. I believe this is a wonderful site for teachers to use to teach and become more knowledgeable in education and their subject. It will keep teaching current and up to date providing the best education experience for all of the students.
